Well hi there.

The most useful thing... Hmm. It's hard to explain.

During the Willow Trial, I had to avoid getting stabbed by sharp vines? shrapnel? objects? I didn't do very well. Even if I had passed the trial, I would've died from the injuries I sustained anyway. I guess the point is moot though, because I got blown apart by the lightning tribulation right after.

After a certain point - after being stabbed lethally through the abdomen, I realized that I was going to die no matter what. And it was like having icy water poured on me.

I'm not sure how to explain it afterwards. But after that, I stopped getting stabbed even as I ran towards the goal, even as the distance between me and the source of the sharp objects grew smaller and smaller.

It didn't really feel like my reactions were faster. It didn't quite feel completely like I was predicting the shots either.

It's more like I was a small raft in water. And someone drove their large boat at me, but I didn't get hit because the waves it made pushed me aside. It sorta felt like that.

Of course, the Willow retaliated by stabbing me right through the dead center of my chest right afterwards, which seemed to bypass that weird feeling entirely.
